APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday May 21, 2008 (MJD 54608) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko (observer) Dmitry Bizyaev - help. Shannon Watters - by phone ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MCP - Imager calibration ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- I did the MSP calibrations. Completed Gain for z2,z3,z4,z5,z6 ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Systems were not checked today. Night: ------ I did the MSP calibrations. Completed Gain for z2,z3,z4,z5,z6. I had problems with MSP software. They have been overcome after restart. Task: Gain for z2,z3,z4,z5,z6. (Gain for the i2-i6 has been obtained at May,16) 02:39Z Run 7517 - ignored 03:03Z im> getGainCCD i 2, stageX =11410 frames 2 - 26 - Abnormal work: non-changed exposure time and too many frames. I stopped a job after consultation with Shannon. Then I have tried to start software again (together with Dmitry), but it has not led to success. Runs 7518, 7519, 7520 has been ignored. Then I made full shutdown (software & hardware) and started anew. It has lied to success. 05:11Z Run 7521 frame 1, bias 05:14Z im> getGainCCD z 2, stageX =11410 frames 2 - 13 05:42Z im> getGainCCD z 3, stageX= 20510 frames 14 - 25 06:34Z im>getGainCCD z 4, stageX=29610 frames 26 - 37 07:06Z getGainCCD z 5, stageX=38710 frames 38 - 49 07:37Z getGainCCD z 6,Ê stageX=47810 frames 50 - 61 08:10Z imager bias.
